Subject: RE: new Stan Rogers parody
I was absolutly stunned to find a copy of SR's Turnaround album in a local music store, I suspect they ordered it by mistake, but so what, its mine now. I heard "the Jeanie C" at a friends house years & years ago and Stan kind slipped my mind, living in SW Florida is not exactly the epicentre of the folk world, untill I saw this album again. My Word . . . am I impressed with his voice and material. My favorite cut on the cd is Second Effort, great song and sentiment. I do have a question of you afficinados though, are the rest of his albums as "produced" as this one is, ie drums, electrics, etc? I'm not complaning, I just hear a lot of great accoustic stuff happening too and wonder if he did any strictly accoustic albums and which ones do you recommend?
